The Integrin Family consists of a group of proteins that play a crucial role in cell adhesion and communication. These proteins are found on the surface of cells and help them attach to the extracellular matrix, which is the network of proteins and other molecules outside the cells. Integrins are essential for various biological processes, including tissue development, immune response, and wound healing. Integrins are made up of two subunits, known as alpha and beta chains, which combine to form a functional receptor. This receptor can transmit signals from the outside of the cell to the inside, influencing cell behavior and function. Dysregulation of integrins is associated with several diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.
